Publication Abstract from PubMed
The beta-lactamase Toho-1 exhibits a strong tendency to form merohedrally twinned crystals. Here, the crystal quality of Toho-1 was improved by using surface modification to remove a sulfate ion involved in crystal packing. The surface-modified Toho-1 variant (R274N/R276N) was crystallized under similar conditions to those used for wild-type Toho-1. R274N/R276N did not form merohedrally twinned crystals. The crystals diffracted to a significantly higher resolution (approximately 0.97 A) than the wild-type crystals (1.65 A); they belonged to the same space group and had almost identical unit-cell parameters to those of wild-type Toho-1.
